TO REDUCE DUTIES ON METALS AND MANUFACTURES 

OF METALS. 


January 25, 1912.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union and ordered to be printed. 

I f f £ . ' 

/» j — 

Mr. Underwood, from the Committee on Ways and Means, 
submitted the following 


REPORT. 

[To accompany H. R. 18642.] 

The Committee on Ways and Means, to whom was referred the 
bill (H. R. 18642) to amend an act entitled “An act to provide 
revenue, equalize duties and encourage the industries of the United 
States, and for other purposes,” approved August 5, 1909, having 
had the same under consideration, report it back to the House with¬ 
out amendment and recommend that the bill do pass. 

ABUNDANT INFORMATION AVAILABLE. 

In reporting H. R. 18642 the committee regards it as unnecessary 
to make more than a very general review of present conditions, as 
the industries involved in Schedule C have been studied and ana¬ 
lyzed with great care within the past two years by several depart¬ 
ments of the Government at great expense. This is especially 
true of the iron and steel manufacture. About two years ago the 
United States Immigration Commission prepared an elaborate 
study relating to social and economic conditions in the iron and steel 
and allied industries. An equally extensive study of coal and its 
products in relation to labor was likewise prepared by that commis¬ 
sion. The Bureau of Labor, in its report on the strike at the 
Bethlehem Steel Works (S. Doc. 521, 61st Cong., 2d sess.), has 
furnished valuable data concerning hours and conditions of labor, 
wages, and allied matters prevailing in one of the important plants 
of the county. The results of the 1910 inquiries by the Bureau of 
the Census and late reports of the Geological Survey are all available.

SCHEDULE C—METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 


STRENGTH OF IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY. 

A survey of the iron and steel industry shows convincingly that 
it has reached a position of such strength and independence that 
the industry does not need the helping hand of the Government in 
order to stand in competition with foreign countries. This desir¬ 
able state of affairs has been reached as a result of progressive 
improvements in industrial methods coincident with steady reduc¬ 
tions of the tariff, which have impressed upon steel producers the 
necessity of shaping their methods in accordance with the recent 
inventions and processes and with the principles of effective business 
organization. Under these conditions the committee feels warranted 
in recommending that the duties on metals and manufactures thereof 
be placed upon a distinctly revenue basis, while definitely adhering to 
the object of securing for the Treasury as large an income as can be 
obtained from this schedule consistent with conserving the general 
interests of the consumer. 

ABILITY TO COMPETE. 

That the iron and steel industry is fully able to accept a schedule 
of duties based upon the revenue principle can be seen from a brief 
consideration of the following facts. 

American iron and steel makers have access to what is probably the 
best suppty of raw material in the world, a condition fully admitted 
by leading manufacturers. Mr. E. H. Gary, Chairman Board of 
Directors of United States Steel Corporation, when recently before 
the House Committee on the Investigation of the United States Steel 
Corporation (Hearings, p. 106), was asked by Mr. Young. “I under¬ 
stood you to say that you thought the Mesabi was the finest iron-ore 
district in the world.” 

To this Mr. Gary replied, “ I did.” This view is amply confirmed 
by the report of the Bureau of Corporations, which has devoted 
elaborate study to the ore resources of the country, and particularly 
those owned by the United States Steel Corporation. Furthermore, 
the Bureau of Corporations clearly shows that the iron-ore resources 
of the country have been acquired at prices which represent an ex¬ 
ceedingly moderate investment on the part of the concerns which now 
own and operate them. They are therefore able to compete on most 
favorable terms with foreigners, in so far at least as concerns raw 
material and coal. Both in the natural abundance of ore and coal, 
and in the geographical location of these production factors with 
reference to one another, as well as cheapness in mining, it is doubtful 
whether any other country can compare with the United States. 
Certainly no other is in position to manufacture so large a tonnage 
under such favorable conditions of access to raw materials and 
abundance of supply. 

Mr. Andrew Carnegie is on record as saying: 

After the Civil War Congress sent for the manufacturers and explained that it was 
ready to “protect” steel, and 30 per cent duty was imposed. Steel rails, all imported, 
thenyost $90 per ton; the duty was $28. To-day the price is $28 per ton, home pro¬ 
duction, and the duty $4. No foreign supply is needed. The writer has been before 
several congressional committees upon the tariff question, but never to ask an 
increase, always stating that reductions in duties could be made. Testifving before 
the present tariff was passed I stated that the steel duty could now be abolished,

which gave many people the impression that I had changed my views because I was 
no longer an interested party. On the contrary, I may cite a letter that appeared 
in the New York Times of December 28, 1908, from Charles Stewart Smith, of the 
New York Chamber of Commerce, saying that he heard me “tell President McKinley 
during his first term that steel no longer needed protection.” The infant industry 
has grown to be a giant, protection has done its work.” 1 

LOW WAGES IN INDUSTRY. 

It is sometimes contended that American industries are handi¬ 
capped by the necessity of paying abnormally high wages, and that 
high-tariff duties enable producing plants to pay these high wages. 
The recent investigations, previously referred to, show that neither 
of these conditions hold good at the present time. Not only do the 
steel plants of the country work their employees excessively long 
hours, but the general rates of wages paid are extremely low/ 

In speaking of these conditions in its report on the steel industry, 
the Bureau of Labor says: 

The investigation developed that the seven-day working week was not confined to 
the blast-furnace department, where there is a metallurgical necessity for continuous 
operation and in which department nine-tenths of the employees worked seven days 
a week, but it was also found that to a considerable extent in other departments, 
where no such metallurgical necessity can be claimed, productive work was carried 
on on Sundays just as on other days of the week. For example, in some establish¬ 
ments the Bessemer converters, the open-hearth furnaces, and blooming, rail, and 
structural mills were found operating seven day3 a week for commercial reasons only. 

The hardship of a 12-hour day and a 7-day week is still further accentuated by the 
fact that every week or two weeks, as the case may be, when the employees on the 
day shift are transferred to the night shift, and vice versa, employees remain on duty 
without relief either 18 or 24 consecutive hours, according to the practice adopted 
for the change of shift. The most common plan to effect this change of shift is to 
work one shift of employees on the day of change through the entire 24 hours, the 
succeeding shift working the regular 12 hours when it comes on duty. In some 
instances the change is effected by having one shift remain on duty 18 hours and 
the succeeding shift work 18 hours. 

That much of the Sunday labor in the steel industry is no more necessary than in 
other industries is shown conclusively by the fact that during the investigation made 
in 1910 by the Bureau of Labor into the conditions of labor in the Bethlehem Steel 
Works, the President of the Steel Corporation directed the rigid enforcement of a 
resolution adopted three years previous, cutting out a large part of Sunday work 
except in the blast-furnace department. Even in the blast-furnace department, where 
there is a metallurgical necessity for continuous operation day and night throughout 
seven days of the week, there is practically nothing except the desire to economize 
in the expense of production that prevents the introduction of a system that would 
give each employee one day of rest out of the seven. 

Other industries where continuous operation is necessary have found it entirely 
practicable to devise a system by which one day of rest out of each seven could be 
secured for each employee; and since the beginning of this investigation a committee 
of the American Iron and Steel Institute has taken up this subject and has proposed 
a plan which gives each employee one day of rest each week, and which does away 
with the 24 or the 18 hours of consecutive work now required when changing from the 
day shift to the night shift. The plan is now being given a test in a few plants, but it 
is too early yet to state how satisfactory it will prove or to what extent it may be 
adopted generally throughout the iron and steel industry. * * * 

During the investigation those in charge of plants have in their discussions with 
representatives of the bureau frequently emphasized the fact that the men working 
these very long hours are not kept busy all the time. To some extent this is perfectly 
true; but the employees in question during the entire period are on duty and subject 
to orders; they are not, except in rare instances, allowed to leave the plant. It is not 
simply the character or the continuity of the work, but the fact that in the case of the 
84-hour-a-week worker something over one-half of each 24 hours—more than three- 
fourths of his waking hours—is spent on duty in the mills, which is of significance to 
the worker and his family. •

An added significance attaches to the conditions of labor here described as character¬ 
istic of the iron and steel industry when we consider that the general tendency in other 
industries for years past has been toward a shorter working day. Years ago the 10-hour 
day became almost a standard; since that time further reductions have brought the 
working day to nine and in many cases to eight hours, and this reduction has been ac¬ 
companied by a part holiday on Saturday. * * * 

Another striking characteristic of the labor conditions in the iron and steel industry 
is the large proportion of unskilled workmen in the labor force. These unskilled work¬ 
men are very largely recruited from the ranks of recent immigrants. * * * 

Taking the employees in all occupations in the industry, nearly 60 per cent are 
foreign born, and nearly two-thirds of the foreign born are of the Slavic races. Large 
as is the proportion that unskilled labor forms of the total labor force in the iron and 
steel industry, steel experts have noted the fact that the tendency of recent years has 
been steadily toward the reduction in the number of highly skilled men employed and 
the establishment of the general wage on the basis of common or unskilled labor. Nor 
is this tendency likely to diminish, since each* year sees a wider use of automatic ap¬ 
pliances which unskilled labor can Easily be trained to handle. 

With reference to rates of wages the recent inquiries are equally 
conclusive. In the following table, taken from Senate Document No. 
521, Sixty-first Congress, first session, is given the number and per 
cent of employees receiving each specified rate of wage per hour at 
the Bethlehem Steel Works. This affords a typical example of the 
situation. It will be noted that the largest number of employees 
are those who are grouped from 12 to 18 cents per hour or from 
SI.20 to $1.80 for a 10-hour day.

How this compares with the general rate of wages prevailing in 
the industry can be seen from Table 2, in which is reviewed the rate 
paid throughout the industry as a whole. This table has been pre¬ 
pared by the Bureau of Labor for its forthcoming report on iron and

More than one-half, or 56.48 per cent, of the 172,706 employees 
included in the steel report of the Bureau of Labor earned 16 and 
under 25 cents per hour; almost one-fifth, 19.92 per cent, earned less 
than 16 cents per hour; almost exactly one-half, 49.69 per cent, earned 
less than 18 cents per hour; three-fourths, 76.40 per cent, earned less 
than 25 cents per hour; 97.45 per cent earned less than 50 cents per

It is an unavoidable conclusion from these figures that the steel 
industry at the present time is not paying its employees excessively 
high rates of wages per man or per hour and that with the large immi¬ 
gration, constituting free trade in labor, which now exists, the em¬ 
ployees of the industry are not affected beneficially by the tariff on 
iron and steel. Their cost of living is made high by the other schedules 
of the tariff, and they receive no compensating benefit in wages to 
offset this increased cost.

EARNINGS AND PROFITS. 


Another test of the capacity of the industry to prosper without aid 
from the Government is seen in the profits on the capital invested. 
This subject has been examined by the Bureau of Corporations, 
which gives the following figures shoving the earnings of the United 
States Steel Corporation since its organization:

ABILITY OF INDEPENDENTS TO COMPETE. 

It is thus established that an average annual earning of 12 per 
cent has been made by the United States Steel Corporation during 
a period of 10 years in which its total investment in tangible property 
has increased from $698,000,000 to $1,186,000,000. This probably 
may be taken as a fair representation of the general condition of 
the industry as shown by the fact that the percentage of total out¬ 
put of iron and steel products manufactured by the United States 
Steel Corporation has been decreasing while that of other plants 
presumably in competition with it has been increasing. The Bureau 
of Corporations furnishes the following summary table, showing the 
percentage of all steel products turned out in the United States by 
the United States Steel Corporation as compared with the percentage 
of products turned out by other concerns.

This clearly shows that the general output of the corporation in 
nearly every line of steel manufacture has been declining as com¬ 
pared with the total output of the country. The independent com¬ 
panies in short must have been able to gam upon the United States 
Steel Corporation in their sales to consumers, a fact which would 
indicate that they were able to do more than hold their own. On 
the other hand, it has always been recognized that many of the plants 
which were taken into the United States Steel Corporation at the time 
of its organization were not the most efficient establishments in the 
industry. That in spite of this fact the corporation has been able 
to make an average earning of 12 per cent while enormously increas¬ 
ing its actual tangible investment is conclusive in showing that there 
is no reason for regarding it as more than ordinarily representative of 
general conditions throughout the industry.

STEEL EXPORTS. 

At present American manufacturers of iron and steel are fully able 
to compete in the export trade. Mr. E. H. Gary, when recently testi¬ 
fying before the committee on the investigation of the United States 
Steel Corporation, informed the committee (Hearings, p. 95) that— 

So far as we are concerned in this country, we get pretty nearly the same price 
from those countries all the time— 

Countries to which iron and steel products are regularly exported, 
particularly South America— 

I think, so far as foreign manufacturers are concerned, they get higher prices from 
the South American countries and the other countries that you speak of, at times at 
least, than they do in their own country. * * * One year the average price of our 

export rails was 27 cents a ton higher than the domestic price. 

Elsewhere Mr. Gary said that the average price abroad for export 
rails u would be a little less” than at home. He thought they were 
netting the corporation about $25.50 per ton. Very similar conditions 
are understood to exist with reference to products other than rails. 
If it be true that the American iron and steel industry can successfully 
compete in the foreign market at prices nearly, and sometimes quite, 
as good as those which obtain at home, there would appear to be no 
reason for the maintenance of protective duties on those items which 
are in this favorable condition. 

That we are able to compete successfully in foreign markets is 
amply proved by the figures for export trade in iron and steel prod¬ 
ucts afforded by the most recent official reports of our trade abroad. 
Detailed data covering our foreign commerce in metals and manu¬ 
factures thereof are presented in this report as Appendix B. As will 
be seen by reference to that appendix, exportation of iron and steel 
products during the fiscal year 1911 amounted to $230,725,000. 

COST OF PRODUCTION. 

Keference is frequently made to the question of comparative cost 
of production of iron and steel and their products in the United States 
and in foreign countries. The method of argument is misleading 
because of the fact that money outlays for the production of given 
articles have no necessary connection with or bearing upon the rela¬ 
tive competitive power of various countries. It may easily be that 
a high money cost of production in a given country is coincident with 
a large power of competition. High wages per hour may be associated 
with a more than correspondingly high degree of efficiency, and even 
where this is not the case it is frequently true that large money costs 
are offset by charges for transportation, while in not a few instances 
high costs have absolutely nothing to do with international competi¬ 
tion, since they represent the necessary costs of producing portions of 
the supply which are absolutely indispensable and which can not be 
obtained from a less expensive source. It remains true that even 
with these reservations money costs of production for iron and. steel 
in the United States are probably as low as they are anywhere in the 
world. 

In its recent extensive study of domestic steel costs the Bureau 
of Corporations has not been able to assemble corresponding data for 


10 SCHEDULE C—METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 

foreign countries. In this connection the Commissioner of Cor¬ 
porations says: 

The bureau made a comprehensive investigation into the costs of the raw materials 
and finished products of the iron and steel industry in the United States, the prin¬ 
cipal results of which are presented in this report. It also attempted to get similar 
costs of manufacture in the chief foreign producing countries, but while much infor¬ 
mation of a general character was obtained relating to the subject it was found im¬ 
possible to obtain any comprehensive information as to the costs as shown directly 
on the books of account. 

Under these conditions it is not necessary to examine the cost 
figures presented in the report of the bureau for their bearing on the 
rates of duty in Schedule C. The figures of the bureau show low 
costs and large margins of profit both for the United States Steel 
Corporation and for independent companies, a condition which amply 
sustains the digest of findings already cited in this report. 

Judged by all available tests, the American iron and steel indus¬ 
try is fully able to sustain itself without Government aid. It has 
unrivaled supplies of raw material well situated with reference to one 
another. It has the use of abundant capital and the best of business 
organization, as shown by the large profits earned and the large reinvest¬ 
ments made in the industry. It is able to export in competition with 
foreign countries, as is freely admitted by its chief officials and as is 
shown by the figures of the Government. Were the domestic demand 
not so extensive as it has been, exports might be increased, and 
the testimony of the officers of the United States Steel Corporation 
shows that prices abroad are about as satisfactory as they are at 
home. The industry has the advantage of low costs when estimated 
even from a rigid accounting standpoint. For all these reasons, it 
may be regarded as well fitted from every point of view in which 
to establish rates of duty upon a strictly revenue-producing basis. 

The history of tariff taxation upon iron and steel furnishes many 
striking illustrations of the success of American manufacturers in 
meeting the conditions' of competition and in lowering their costs 
far more than in proportion to reductions of duty. While it is not 
considered necessary at this time to review in great detail the history 
of the duties on metals and manufactures thereof, the committee has 
prepared a statement showing the changes made bv the act of 1909 in 
the rates of duty levied in the act of 1897. From this it will be clear 
that the very moderate reduc tions made in certain paragraphs of the 
act of 1S97 have been sufficient to stimulate importation and thereby 
to give consumers the advantage of a more extensive supply and of 
better market conditions. There is no evidence that this moderate 
increase in importations has had the effect of restricting domestic 
production, but rather it has served to meet needs which otherwise 
would have been scantily filled or perhaps not at all. 

CHANGES MADE BY ACT OF 1909. 

The act of 1909 reduced the duty on iron ore in paragraph 117 from 
40 to 15 cents per ton. Basic slag was transferred to the free list. 

Pig iron, paragraph 118, was reduced by the act of 1909 from $4 
to $2.50 per ton. Wrought and cast scrap iron was made $1 per ton 
instead of $4, while ferrosilicon was transferred to paragraph 184 at 
$5 per ton for a silicon content up to 15 per cent, and 20 per cent 
for that of a content containing more than 15 per cent of silicon. 


SCHEDULE C-METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 


11 


The definition of scrap iron or scrap steel was amended by providing 
that scrap should include iron or steel which could be remanufac¬ 
tured only by melting. 

Bar iron, muck bars, rolled iron, etc., were reduced by the act of 
1909, paragraph 119, from six-tenths of a cent per pound, the rate in 
1897, to three-tenths of a cent per pound. 

The tariff of 1909 reduced the rate on round iron in paragraph 120 
from eight-tenths to six-tenths of a cent per pound. Slabs and blooms 
were cut from five-tenths of a cent to four-tenths of a cent per 
pound, except in the case of iron bars, blooms, etc., in which charcoal 
is used as fuel, which were reduced from $12 to $8 per ton. This 
reduction on the paragraph as a whole was equivalent to about one- 
third of the former rate on a basis of ad valorem equivalents. 

Important action was taken regarding structural iron and steel 
shown in paragraph 121. The rate on these items had been five-tenths 
of a cent per pound in 1897. Under that rate iron had been admitted 
“ whether plain or punched or fitted for use.” The tariff of 1909 made 
the rate three-tenths and four-tenths of a cent per pound, according to 
value. It, however, in describing the items subject to this rate, used 
the words “not assembled or manufactured,” etc. In the event that 
structural iron and steel was thus assembled it would be dutiable at 
45 per cent. The effect of this change was to transfer a considerable 
number of articles largely imported to a higher rate than was paid 
under the tariff of 1897. 

Boiler or other plate provided for in paragraph 122 was dutiable at 
five-tenths of a cent per pound and upward according to valuation 
under the act of 1897, but was made dutiable at three-tenths of a 
cent per pound and upward under the act of 1909. This change was 
accompanied by a substitution of five subclassifications, according 
to value, for the four included in the act of 1897. The general effect 
was a slight decrease from the former rates. 

Iron or steel anchors dutiable under paragraph 124 of the act of 
1909 were given a duty by that act of 1 cent per pound in place of 
14 cents in l897. The act of 1897 made forgings dutiable at 35 per 
cent, the duty being reduced to 30 per cent by the act of 1909 on all 
forgings not machined, etc. Ball bearings, etc., were made dutiable 
at 45 percent the same as in 1897 with a slightly changed classification. 

Hoop, band, or scroll iron or steel was reduced by paragraph 124 
of the act of 1909 from five-tenths to eight-tenths of a cent per 
pound according to gauge to one of three-tenths of a cent per pound 
and upward. 

Hoop or band iron for baling cotton or any other commodity 
was made dutiable in paragraph 125 under the same description as 
in 1897<but at three-tenths of a cent per pound instead of five-tenths 
of a cent. 

In the same way paragraph 126 of the act of 1909 reduced the rate 
on steel rails from seven-twentieths of a cent per pound ($7.84 per ton) 
to seven-fortieths of a cent per pound ($3.92 per ton), while railway 
plates and bars were reduced from four-tenths to three-tenths of a 
cent per pound. The cut in steel rails was about 40 per cent of the 
ad valorem equivalent. 

Common or black sheets of iron or steel were dealt with in para¬ 
graph 127 of *tlie act of 1909, being there classified upon a slightly 


12 


SCHEDULE C—METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 


altered basis at a duty of from five-tenths to nine-tenths of a cent per 
pound in place of from seven-tenths to lfV cents per pound in 1897. 

Paragraph 128 of the act of 1909 taxed iron or steel sheets or plates 
except tin plates at two-tenths of a cent per pound in excess of the 
regular rate on untreated sheets when galvanized or coated, this being 
the same rate as in 1897. A new provision covering sheets coated 
witli layers of other metal by forging with a duty of 40 per cent was 
added. 

Sheets of iron or steel, polished, were covered in paragraph 129 
at a rate of If cents per pound in place of 2 cents per pound in 1897. 

Tin plates, terne plates, and taggers tin were provided for in para¬ 
graph 130 at a rate of l T 2 g- cents per pound, against If cents in 1897. 

Ingots, blooms, slabs, etc., were made dutiable in paragraph 131 of 
the act of 1909 with a very slightly changed classification at seven- 
fortieths of a cent per pound up to 7 cents per pound and 20 per cent, 
according to value, instead of three-tenths of a cent per pound upward 
to 4^0 cents per pound under the act of 1897. 

In paragraph 132 of the act of 1909 steel wool was made dutiable at 
40 per cent, instead of being dutiable as an “ article manufactured 
from steel wire” at If cents per pound in addition to the rate of duty 
imposed upon the wire used in the manufacture of the article. 

In paragraph 133 iron grit, shot, and sand were separately 
enumerated at 1 cent a pound, as against 45 per cent under the act 
of 1897, this being an increase of about 66 per cent. 

Wire rods, untempered or untreated, were made dutiable under 
paragraph 134 on about the same basis as in 1897, but at three-tenths 
and six-tenths of a cent per pound in place of four-tenths and three- 
fourths of a cent in 1897. 

Iron and steel wire was reclassified in paragraph 135 at duties of 
from 1 to If cents per pound, but not less than 35 per centum ad 
valorem. The act of 1897 had established three subclassifications 
ranging from If to 2 cents per pound, all valued at more than 4 
cents being dutiable at 40 per cent. In the same paragraph, tele¬ 
graph, telephone, and other similar wires were given a rate of 40 per 
cent, and wire heddles were taxed 25 cents per thousand plus 40 per 
cent. 

The rate on bars or rods cold rolled, in paragraph 137, was reduced 
from one-fourth of a cen t per pound in addition to the rates on bars 
or rods hot rolled, in 1897, to the ordinary rate plus one-eighth of 
a cent per pound. Paragraph 137 also made the rate on strips and 
plates of cold-hammered steel four-tenths of a cent per pound plus 
the rate on common sheets, instead of that rate plus 1 cent per pound 
in 1897. 

In paragraph 140 anvils were reduced from If to If cents per pound. 

Automobiles, bicycles, etc., were taxed by paragraph 141 at 45 
per cent, this being a new classification not appearing in the act of 
1897, the articles then being taxed at 45 per cent as unenumerated 
manufactures. 

Axles were reduced by paragraph 142 from 1 cent to three-fourths 
of a cent per pound. 

Blacksmiths’ hammers, etc., were reduced by paragraph 143 of the 
act of 1909 from If to If cents per pound. 

In paragraph 144 bolts, hinges, etc., were reduced from If to If 
cents per pound, the former being the rate in 1897. 


SCHEDULE C-METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 13 

Card clothing not actually and permanently fitted to and attached 
to carding machines or to parts thereof was reclassified in para¬ 
graph 145 of the act of 1909 at 20 and 45 cents per square foot the 
same as in 1897, while a new classification at 55 cents per square 
foot was added. 

Cast-iron pipe was made dutiable under paragraph 140 at one- 
fourth of a cent instead of four-tenths of a cent per pound. 

Cast-iron plates, etc., were reclassified in paragraph 147 of the act 
of 1909. A number of enumerated articles were given a rate of 
eight-tenths of a cent per pound, the same as in 1897, but a new 
subclassification covering chiseled and drilled castings dutiable at 1 
cent a pound was added. 

Malleable iron castings included in paragraph 148 of the act of 
1909 were reduced from nine-tenths to seven-tenths of a cent per 
pound. 

Cast hollow ware dutiable in 1897 at 2 cents a pound was reduced 
by paragraph 149 of the act of 1909 to H cents a pound. 

Iron or steel chains were reduced on some sizes in paragraph 150 of 
the act of 1909. In 1897 they were dutiable at 1J cents up to 3 
cents, according to size, but not less than 45 per cent. In the act of 
1909 they were made dutiable at from J to 3 cents per pound, but 
not less than 45 per cent. This amounted to a slight decrease in rate 
based on ad valorem equivalents. The old rates worked out at 47.72 
for 1909, while the corresponding average in 1911 was 47.30 per cent 
on the strictly dutiable imports. 

in paragraph 151, iron or steel tubes, pipes, etc., were reclas¬ 
sified. In 1897 iron or steel boiler tubes, pipes, etc., were 2 cents ner 
pound. The act of 1909 omitted the word “boiler” before tubes 
and established a classification according to the diameter of the 
tubes. The 1909 rate ranged from 1 cent to 2 cents per pound and 
a new provision was added fixing a rate of 1J cents per pound on 
other articles made of charcoal iron. 

Cutlery, covered in paragraph 152 of the act of 1909, was enumer¬ 
ated and taxed in the same way and at the same rate as in 1897, 
except for a special provision relating to blades, handles, etc. Razors 
were subclassified more elaborately than in 1897, the lowest classifi¬ 
cation being given a rate of 35 per cent instead of 50 cents per dozen 
and 15 per cent. This amounted to a very large increase in rates on 
blades and unfinished razors, and the present rates are practically 
prohibitory. The equivalent ad valorem rate on razors and razor 
blades under the Dingley Act was 54.62 per cent on the imports of 
1909, but under the act of 1909 was 71.34 per cent for 1910, and 
71.30 per cent for 1911. 

Swords and sword blades were increased in paragraph 153 of the 
act of 1909 from 35 per cent, the rate fixed in 1897, to 50 per cent. 

In paragraph 154 of the act of 1909 some changes were made in the 
enumeration of table and other knives for the purpose of extending the 
classification, making the rates 1 cenf each and 15 per cent up to 14 
cents each and 15 per cent, as against 1J cents each and 15 per cent 
up to 16 cents each and 15 per cent, the rates in 1897. The minimum 
rate to be collected on any was made 40 per cent in 1909 instead of 
45 per cent in 1897. Under the old rates of duty the ad valorem 
equivalent was 51.25 per cent in 1909, compared with 43.26 percent 
for 1910 and 43.43 in 1911.

In paragraph 155 of the act of 1909, files, rasps, etc., were reduced 
from a rate of 30 cents to $1 per dozen, to one from 25 cents to 77 J cents 
per dozen, according to length. This was equivalent to a reduc¬ 
tion of about 14 per cent of the old rate. The old rates were equiv¬ 
alent to 79.35 per cent on the basis of 1909 importations, while the 
.new rates were equivalent to 68.06 on the basis of 1910 importations. 

Firearms were made dutiable under paragraphs 156 and 157 of the 
act of 1909, the same as in 1897, with a slight change in the classifica¬ 
tion of pistols at 75 cents each plus 25 per cent. This rate was 
equivalent to 62.23 per cent in 1909 and 41.81 per cent in 1910. 

Hollow and enameled wares were made dutiable in paragraph 158 
at 40 per cent, the same as in 1897, with a slight change in classi¬

per pound. 

Wire nails less than 1 inch in length and lighter than No. 16 wire 
gauge were reduced in paragraph 161 from 1 cent to three-fourths 
of a cent per pound, and the rate on the class not less than an inch 
in length and not lighter than No. 16 wire gauge from one-half to 
to four-tenths of a cent per pound. Owing to variations in the 
amount brought in under the different classifications this worked 
out as an increase from 11.42 per cent in 1909 to 17.86. per cent on 
the basis of the importations of 1910. 

Horseshoes, spikes, etc., were reduced from 1 cent to three-fourths 
of a cent per pound in paragraph 162. 

Cut tacks, brads, etc., were reduced by paragraph 163 of the act of 
1909 from rates of 11 cents per thousand and 1J cents per pound 
according to weight, to five-eighths cent per thousand and three- 
fourths cent per pound. 

Needles were taxed by paragraph 164 at the same rate as in 1897, 
at $1 per thousand and 25 per centum ad valorem, except that latch 
needles were raised from $1 per thousand plus 25 per cent to $1.15 
per thousand plus 35 per cent. The ad valorem equivalent of the 
duties shows a considerable increase as a result of this addition. 

Fishing tackle, provided for in paragraph 165 of the act of 1909, 
was a new classification at 45 per cent. 

Engraved and electro typed plates were materially raised in para¬ 
graph 166 of the act of 1909. The act of 1897 had levied a duty of 
25 per cent. This was now made 20 per cent, but plates engraved 
for the purpose of making figures on glass were left at 25 per cent, 
while lithographic plates were raised to 50 per cent. 

Rivets, studs, etc., dutiable under the act of 1897 at 2 cents per 
pound, were taxed at 45 per cent in the act of 1909, paragraph 167, 
when lathed, etc., while on ordinary rivets the rate was reduced from 
2 cents to 1J cents per pound. 

In paragraph 168 saws were cut from 6 cents, the rate in 1897, to 
5 cents, with corresponding changes on various kinds and classes of 
saws. The result has been a slight ad valorem decrease. 

Wood screws dutiable under paragraph 169 were reduced from 
rates ranging in 1897 between 4 and 12 cents to rates ranging from 3 
to 10 cents. 

In paragraph 170 umbrella ribs, etc., were extended in classification 
and given the same rate as in 1897, at 50 per cent.

paragraph, were reduced from 1J to 1 cent per pound. 

Aluminum, barium, etc., were taxed under the act of 1897 at vary¬ 
ing rates and under varying classifications, which were changed in par¬ 
agraph 172 of the act of 1909. In 1909 the rate on aluminum, with a 
slightly changed classification, was made 7 cents instead of 8 cents, 
the reduction working out about 10 per cent of the old rates on the 
crude product: Aluminum in plates, etc., had paid under the old 
classification an equivalent of 26.61 per cent in 1909, which was now 
raised under the new one to 47.02 in 1911. Barium, etc., was taxed 
at 3 cents per pound plus 25 per cent. Crude magnesium, which had 
not been taxed, was given a duty of 3 cents per pound plus 25 per

the same rate of 12 cents per pound as in 1897. 

Gold leaf in paragraph 177 of the act of 1909 was to be 35 cents per 
100 leaves, but the rate was applicable only to small sizes, additional 
duties being paid for an increase in size. 

Silver leaf in paragraph 178 was reduced from 75 cents per 500 
leaves to 10 cents per 100 leaves. 

Bullions and metal threads in paragraph 179 of the act of 1909

Chrome metal, etc., is a new classification as paragraph 184, with a 
general rate of 20 per cent. 

Nickel, paragraph 185 of the act of 1909, was made dutiable at 35 
per cent, instead of 6 cents per pound when in sheets or strips, this 
being a doubling of the rate of duty. 

The classification of pens in paragraph 186 left the rate as in 1897, 
except for pens with nib and barrel in one piece, which were made 
dutiable at 15 cents per gross. 

Metallic pins were retained in paragraph 188 of the act of 1909 at 
35 per cent, as in 1897.

graph 190 of the act of 1909 of 10 per cent. 

Watches and clocks were largely reclassified and rates changed in 
paragraph 192 of the act of 1909. The classification was broadened

and clauses requiring the marking of places of origin, etc., were intro¬ 
duced. On the cheaper watch movements the rate was changed from 
35 cents each plus 25 per cent to 70 cents each. On the higher grades

In paragraph 198 of the act of 1909 nippers and pliers were made 
dutiable at 8 cents per pound and 40 per cent as against 45 per cent 
as unenumerated manufactures under the act of 1897. This was 
equivalent to an increase of about one-fourth. 

The results of these changes worked out in equivalent ad valorems 
for 1905, 1910, and 1911 are shown under corresponding paragraphs 
of H. E. 18642 in Appendix A. 

CHANGES MADE BY H. R. 18642. 

In framing the present revision of the metal schedule, the com¬ 
mittee has adopted the general principle of reducing all duties to a 
revenue basis, so far as practicable, except in those cases where more 
cogent considerations than those relating to the fiscal policy of the 
Government dictated the transfer of given items to the free list. 

It has placed iron ore, including manganiferous iron ore and the 
dross or residuum from pyrites on the free list, transferring it for 
that purpose from the present paragraph 117 to paragraph 67 of 
H. E. 18642. Similar action has been taken with respect to para¬ 
graph 125, which included hoop or band iron, steel, etc., for baling 
cotton, formerly dutiable at three-tenths of 1 cent per pound. In 
the same way a proviso has been added to paragraph 13 of this bill, 
formerly paragraph 135 of the present law, placing on the free list 
barbed and all other fence wire and wire fencing and baling wire. All 
of the items mentioned under old paragraphs 159, 160, 161, 162, and 
163, comprising cut nails and spikes, horseshoe nails, wire nails, made 
of wrought iron or steel, spikes, nuts, and washers, horse, mule, or ox 
shoes, and cut tacks, brads, or sprigs, are transferred to the free list. 
Tungsten ores, formerly 10 per cent under old paragraph 190, are 
now free. Zinc ore, formerly dutiable at varying rates under old 
paragraph 193, is also placed on the free list. Cash registers, type¬ 
setting machines, sewing machines, typewriters, etc., formerly dutia¬ 
ble at 30 per cent under paragraph 197, are also placed on the free list.

Pig iron and the other items classified with it, at present dutiable at 
$2.50 per ton, equivalent to old paragraph 118, has been made 
8 per cent under paragraph 1 of the proposed bill. Wrought and 
cast scrap iron, now $1 a ton, has also been given the 8 per cent rate, 
while chrome metal and the group of associated products now classi¬ 
fied under old paragraph 184 have been placed in the same paragraph 
with pig iron at 15 per cent. 

Bar iron and the other products classed under old paragraph 119 at 
three-tenths of a cent per pound, and round iron, slabs, blooms, etc., 
classed at four-tenths of a cent per pound under old paragraph 120, 
are given a uniform duty of 10 per centum ad valorem applicable to 
the whole paragraph thus consolidated in paragraph 2 of this bill. 

Beams, girders, etc., formerly included under paragraph 121 at 
three-tenths and four-tenths of a cent per pound, are now grouped in 
paragraph 3 at 15 per centum ad valorem. 

In dealing with this paragraph the committee has taken pains to 
eliminate the special provision with reference to structural steel 
which had been introduced in the act of 1909 for the apparent purpose 
of rendering importations of structural steel ready for use more diffi¬ 
cult. This provision in the act of 1909 has been a cause of constant 
criticism of that legislation. 

In paragraph 4 are included the items formerly classed in paragraph 
122 at specific rates of three-tenths of a cent per pound and upward. 
These included boiler plate, except crucible plate steel, and saw plates. 
This exception is now eliminated and the paragraph is made to include, 
at a uniform rate of 15 per cent, crucible plate steel and also all 
sheets of iron or steel, common or black, of all sizes, whether plain, 
corrugated, or crimped, formerly grouped under paragraph 127. 

Paragraph 5 includes the items classed in old paragraph 123, com¬ 
prising anchors at 1 cent per pound, and bearings at 45 per cent, the 
new rates being 15 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively. 

Hoop, band, or scroll iron or steel, formerly classed in paragraph 
124 at three-tenths to six-tenths cent per pound, is now included in 
paragraph 6 at 15 per cent, and certain exceptions formerly included 
at a higher rate are reduced to the general rate of 15 per cent, which 
applies throughout the paragraph. In paragraph 7 are included 
railway bars, T rails, etc., at 10 per centum ad valorem in place of 
the old rate of seven-fortieths of a cent per pound. 

In paragraph 8 are included the items formerly classed under para¬ 
graph 128, including iron or steel sheets, etc., at two-tenths of a cent 
per pound over the fiat rate; iron, steel, etc., plates coated with layers 
of other metal at 40 per cent; polished sheets formerly included in 
paragraph 129 at 1J cents per pound; plates cleaned and pickled by 
acid at two-tenths of a cent per pound over the flat rate, etc.; the items 
formerly included in paragraph 130, comprising iron plates covered 
with tin or lead, formerly dutiable at 1.2 cents per pound. A com¬ 
mon rate of 20 per centum ad valorem in lieu of all of the preced¬ 
ing rates has been assigned to the items in this paragraph. 

Steel ingots, bars, shafting, shapes, etc., included in former para¬ 
graph 131 at seven-fortieths of a cent per pound and upward, are 
now grouped as paragraph 9 at 10 per centum ad valorem. 

Steel wool, formerly in paragraph 132 at 40 per centum ad valorem,

proviso that all tempered or treated rods shall pay an extra duty 
of one-half of 1 cent per pound is eliminated. 

Round iron or steel wire is included in paragraph 13 (formerly 135) 
at 20 per centum ad valorem, and the subclassifications by size are 
eliminated. The proviso formerly included in the paragraph that no 
article shall pay less than 40 per centum ad valorem is changed to 20 
per centum ad valorem. Wire heddles, formerly 25 cents per thou¬ 
sand plus 40 per cent, are now made 25 per cent. As already noted,

dutiable at 3 cents per dial and 40 per cent, now are taxed at a rate 
of 35 per cent. 

In paragraph 61 zinc in blocks and pigs, formerly dutiable under 
paragraph 193 at various specific rates, is given a general rate of 15 
per cent. 

In paragraph 62 cans and containers, formerly dutiable under 
paragraph 195 at 4 cents per pound and 35 per cent but not less

In paragraph 63 bottle caps, formerly from about 50 to 55 per cent, 
are made 30 per cent. 

In paragraph 64 steam engines are given a rate of 15 per cent, 
while embroidery machines, etc., are made 25 per cent, instead of 45 
as under old paragraph 197. 

In paragraph 65 nippers and pliers, formerly dutiable at 8 cents 
per pound and 40 per cent, are given a rate of 30 per cent. 


SCHEDULE C-METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 21 

In paragraph 66 articles or wares not specially provided for, for¬ 
merly 45 per cent under old paragraph 199, are made 25 per cent. 

SCHEDULE C AND THE REVENUE. 

In 1911 Schedule C produced only 6.07 per cent of the total tariff 
revenue of that year. This was the sixth position in the order of im¬ 
portance as a revenue producer in the 14 tariff schedules. In 1894 
this schedule produced 13.73 per cent, 8.43 per cent in 1896, 3.86 
per cent in 1899, 5.59 per cent in 1905, and 6.84 per cent in 1910. 
The percentage of our imports to domestic consumption of iron and 
steel manufactures is comparatively small and the exports are rapidly 
increasing. Our manufacturers are splendidly equipped to supply 
not only the domestic market but to compete in the world’s markets, 
and this they are doing at the present time. 

Under these conditions the most important feature to be kept in 
mind in revising Schedule C in the interest of the general public is 
that the rates be made truly competitive as far as possible; that is, 
that they be made low enough to permit potential competition from 
imports for the sake of natural and proper regulation of domestic 
prices. Such competition will properly encourage imports, affect 
domestic prices in tne interest of the people, and encourage increased 
consumption and production by making more nearly normal the 
conditions of supply and demand. It is believed that the rates pro¬ 
vided for in the bill (H. R. 18642) are competitive, and if enacted 
would effect a substantial economy to the people greatly dispropor¬ 
tionate in its advantages to the small apparent loss in revenue. 

The estimates of imports for the first fiscal year under the bill H. R. 
18,642 have been made by an expert of the Treasury Department from 
a careful study of the imports of the past, more especially those in 
the last five years, an effort being made to give due consideration to 
the effect on the imports which may be made by the indicated changes 
in the duties as well as the present condition of the industry. 

The total estimates from all the articles carried by the bill indicate 
probable imports during the first 12-month period under H. R. 18642 of 
$77,952,000 and duties therefrom to the amount of about $17,477,640. 
As compiled by the Bureau of Statistics, of the Department of Com¬ 
merce and Labor, and shown in Table 7, the revenue derived from 
Schedule C in 1911 amounted to $18,819,349. These figures, how¬ 
ever, are gross, including, as they do, the total drawbacks on metals 
and manufactures thereof, which amounted last year to $2,531,496, 
making the net amount of revenue from this schedule only $16,287,853. 
It is believed that the adjustment of rates made by H. R. 18642 will 
materially correct the conditions which are responsible for this 
great loss in the revenue from drawbacks, and that the estimate of 
$17,477,640 for the first fiscal year under H. R. 18642 will more 
nearly represent the net than the gross amount of duties. If this 
desirable end shall have been attained by this bill, the revision 
which it makes of Schedule C will effect a gain rather than a loss in 
the net revenue to the Treasury. At the same time the average 
tax on metals and manufactures thereof will have been reduced from 
an average ad valorem in 1911 of 34.51 per cent to 22.42 per cent, a 
reduction of 35 per cent in the average duties of the entire schedule. 
Slight differences in the basic figures used by the bureau and by the 
committee are responsible for small variations in the average ad 
valorem rate for the entire schedule.

The total revenue produced by Schedule C during the seven-year 
period covered by this table is $127,962,672 gross. These figures 
include a total drawback during the seven years of $18,949,668, thus 
making the net revenue for the period $109,013,004, a yearly average 
of $15,573,286. 

During the period covered by Table 9, the total revenue derived 
from tin plate, terne plate, and taggers tin amounted to $13,227,231, 
while the drawback on this item of the schedule amounted to 
$13,021,863, thus indicating a net revenue from this item of only 
$205,368 for the seven years. 

The amount of drawback paid on articles covered by Schedule C 
in 1911, as shown in Table 9, was $2,531,496, out of the total revenue, 
as officially reported, of $18,819,349, leaving the net revenue from 
this schedule for 1911 as $16,287,853. The large loss from drawbacks 
in this schedule is due chiefly to that paid on tin plate, which in 1911 
amounted to $1,461,479, out of the total drawback for the schedule 
of $2,531,496. 

As already stated, it is believed that the revision of the tariff rates 
made by H. R. 18642 would, if enacted into law, have the effect of 
greatly extending the zone in which the manufacture of tin plate will 
be conducted in this country, and this, with other conditions now in 
formation in the industry, will result in a great saving to the net 
revenue to be produced by this schedule under H. R. 18642.

28 SCHEDULE C—METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 

Comprehensive statistical data are presented in connection with 
each paragraph of the bill H. R. 18642, published as Appendix A, 
while in Appendix C are shown comparable tariff rates on metals and 
manufactures thereof in foreign countries. From these foreign tariffs, 
pages 84-93, it will be seen that the rates in most of the foreign coun¬ 
tries on articles of the same general description as those included 
in Schedule C are lower than those fixed in H. R. 18642. This is con¬ 
spicuously true in Belgium and in the Netherlands, while the rates 
levied by Germany are for the most part much lower than those pro¬ 
posed by this bill. The duties in the French tariff are in some 
instances higher than those in H. R. 18642, while in others the com¬ 
parison is close. Somewhat the same is true of Italy. High rates 
are assessed in Russia, where the industry has not reached an 
advanced state of development. It is a noteworthy fact that in Can¬ 
ada, where a strong endeavor is being made to build up the iron and 
steel industry by means of a distinctly protective policy, the general 
range of duties is lower than that of H. R. 18642. 

FRAMING AND PHRASEOLOGY OF THE BILL. 

It has been the purpose of the committee in framing H. R. 18642 
to conform as nearly as practicable to the phraseology of the act of 
1909 and to change the wording and classifications of Schedule C 
only where actually necessary to eliminate unnecessary provisions 
and. complexities. The bill is an amendment of the existing tariff 
act and leaves undisturbed the administrative provisions of the act 
of 1909. The warehouse provision (sec. 2) conforms to the corre¬ 
sponding provision of the act of 1909 (sec. 29), except that the pro¬ 
vision for levying duties based on weight at the time of the entry of 
the merchandise is omitted, since the bill H. R. 18642 provides 
for no duties based on weight. Under this warehouse provision, as 
in the present act, articles in warehouse when the bill H. R. 18642 
shall take effect, on which duties have not been paid, shall be subject 
to duty when withdrawn as if they had been imported after the date 
of the effectiveness of the act; but articles in warehouse on which 
duties have been paid and a permit of delivery issued shall be sub¬ 
ject to the duties in force prior to the enactment of the new bill.

Mr. Payne, from the Committee on Ways and Means, submitted the 

following as the 

VIEWS OF THE MINORITY. 

[To accompany H. R. 18642.] 

The minority oppose the passage of the pending bill for the follow¬ 
ing reasons: 

It is framed without any hearings, without any new evidence, and 
has no substantial basis of ascertained facts to stand upon. 

It is in no way justified by the very full hearings taken three years 
ago before a full committee, with full liberty to cross-examine every 
witness who appeared. 

Schedule C was revised in August, 1909, upon a careful study of 
the evidence before the committee, and a heavy cut was made in 
the duties. 

In response to a wide popular demand Congress, by the vote of 
both parties, authorized the present Tariff Board by appropriating 
funds therefor. This board is fully equipped and ready to under¬ 
take the task of gathering information upon Schedule C. 

The majority saw fit to attempt to revise Schedule K in the extra 
session. They have had the masterly report of the board on that 
schedule 30 days and there is no excuse for sidetracking it for 
Schedule C. 

The committee has adopted the ad valorem system of duties on 
every item of Schedule C. This system has been condemned by 
every United States Secretary of the Treasury, except Walker, and 
has been universally discredited by the great commercial nations. 
For details as to the objections to this system we refer to the unanswer¬ 
able argument of the Tariff Board in the woolen schedule. 

This bill deals with “ Metals and manufactures thereof.” In the 
magnitude of the 83 distinct industries which produce articles such 
as are embraced in this shedule, it overshadows all other schedules in 
the tariff law. In the census of 1905 they found in this country 
21,650 establishments engaged in the manufacture of the articles 
covered in this schedule, with a total capital invested of $3,157,388,- 
529, employing 1,171,824 wage earners, receiving $652,109,633 in 
wages, and with an annual product of $3,130,253,195. The Census 
of 1910, not yet completely tabulated, will show a large increase in 
this enormous business of probably more than 25 per cent. Such 
industries are entitled to fair and just treatment on the part of Con¬ 
gress. 

Less than a year ago both parties united in appropriating $250,000 
for a tariff board. A wool-revision bill was rushed through at the 
extra session, when the board was nearly ready to report on Schedule 
K. The board has since sent in a masterly report on wool and 
woolens. No other such complete examination and report has ever 

95 



96 


SCHEDULE C-METALS, AND MANUFACTURES OF. 


been made on this subject in any country. It demonstrates the 
absurdity of the Democratic wool bill. The majority seem to be in no 
hurry to take up the w t oo1 schedule again. They find it more easy to 
act when they are not hampered by facts. The country believes in 
the Tariff Board, and desires that any revision shall be had only after 
thorough and scientific investigation. 

There is a popular impression, shared even in Congress, that Sched¬ 
ule C relates almost exclusively to iron and steel; and that any cut in 
duties strikes at only one big corporation. It is well known that this 
corporation can produce articles of iron and steel more cheaply than 
any other of the numerous independent companies, but it does not 
produce 50 per cent even of the iron and steel products of the country. 

To show the immense business in products under Schedule C, 
other than iron and steel, we append a recent statement of the 
Director of the Census, with reference to Schedule C.
